Skimsat has wings!
It will demonstrate Very Low Earth Orbits, where a satellite compensates for drag from the Earth's extended atmosphere by using solar-electric thrusters so it can get closer to the ground for faster communications or better pictures:

Zando () is back with an incredible new spaceship, glowing from tip to toe with hot metal.
Despite glowing like an infrared star, it will try to distract sensors with a spoofing drone.

Design for a 15 TW 2.75 MJ pulsed power accelerator based on linear-transformer-driver bricks, designed to produce 60 TW X-rays out of a tungsten wire array.
All hardware must be electropolished, vacuum baked, hydrogen fired, and electroplated with gold.

Nuclear reactors are not immune to climate change.

They must adapt to conditions of less water and hotter air which affects their cooling ability and even the locations where they can operate.

In 2019, the New Horizons probe flew past Arrokoth, a bilobate Kuiper Belt Object 36km long and orbiting at 45 AU.
It is very fluffy (235 kg/m^3) and has such low gravity that dust sliding down some of its slopes can reach escape velocity!
